dfn001 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I am designing a large church building and am trying to create a steel beam configuration for the valley beams where two roofs join. Both roofs are 12/12 pitch but due to the different widths of the building where the side transept join the main roof line I have valley. The roof beams are steel and are 24 inches W sections. I am using CA x11. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks. David N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Chief has the ability to designate a beam as a "Steel-I" (W) however this is not particularly accurate as for web and flange thicknesses. I usually extrude a p-solid from an accurately drawn profile and then if you need to model details it can be converted to a solid and trimmed or drilled using Boolean Operations. I assume you are working with a qualified engineer on this project unless of course you are one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
